Well, it seems that my run of bad luck shall continue. The 300-gallon tank shown in my last post of my build update has been taken down as of last night. Two of the bulkheads in the tank developed leaks and my wife and I spend several hours attempting to tighten them to get the leaks to stop. Due to the design of the overflows and height of the stand being so short, we couldn't get them tighten to save our lives. Simply not enough room for tools to fit.
Since we already have a new tank an order and we happen to have a 300-gallon Rubbermaid stock tank, we decided to move all the livestock over to the stock tank until the new tank get here. We figured it was simply too much work to tear down the tank to remove it from the stand and replace and/or tighten bulkheads and setup it but up just to tear it down again. We also figured this way would be less stressful on our livestock.
